Steam was upgraded to Proton 5.0-5 yesterday, and I tried to launch DOOM Eternal, and got so far as a GPU warning, that AMD cards didn't support HDR, and that AMD was working on the issue. After I clicked on the 'Play' button, it didn't launch. Again. This article talks about Proton getting new Vulkan extensions, and it got Eternal closer to launching, but still no cigar.
I don't know if this applies for you but do you have a working 32-bit vulkan?
/usr/bin/32/vulkaninfo | grep -i devicename
I needed to add wayland-compat32-1.18.0-x86_64-1compat32.txz for 32-bit vulkan to work.
I don't know if DOOM Eternal has 32-bit or 64-bit executable but for some games one need to choose manually to launch 64-bit executable.
Have you tried DXVK 1.6? I don't know how Windows Vulkan games work in wine/proton but maybe they still need DXVK.

I believe DOOM Eternal is a fully 64-bit game and is Vulkan-only. DXVK is a non-issue here, from what I've read.
Someone finally cracked the DOOM Eternal enigma (how to run the darn thing!)
The steps to get DOOM Eternal to run are linked here, but I'll recap quickly here:

- Download the Proton version I uploaded (https://ufile.io/x58gs3ia or https://uploadfiles.io/x58gs3ia), unpack to ~/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d/ NOTE: You'll have to do a mkdir -p root/compatibilitytools.d/ under the .steam directory.
- Make sure you're opted in to the Steam client beta (Steam > Settings > Account > Beta participation)
- Restart Steam
- Add these launch options to DOOM Eternal in Steam: +in_terminal 1 +com_skipIntroVideo 1 +com_skipSignInManager 1
- Choose Proton-tkg 5.4.r10.g7c7868f4 as the Proton version to use for DOOM Eternal
I turned on the performance metrics, and even at ultra settings, I was getting ~60 FPS, and this is on an AMD FX-8370 w/ 32GB of RAM and an RX 580 w/ 8GB VRAM. Not bad; no slowdowns that I could see. And the level of detail is simply stunning! Puts DOOM 2016 to shame!

When i read "cracked the DOOM Eternal" i remembered that there was an original folder that was distributed with DOOM Eternal that included an drm-free executable. https://www.ccn.com/cracked-doom-ete...-free-mistake/
I do think that a denuvo free executable is better (one should make a backup of it) but you already got it running.

Yeah, I read about it, but since it ran flawlessly on my machine last night, I see no need to try the DRM-free version (not that I would pirate the game, mind you!)
Yeah, I saw that earlier today, and it will probably help with launching Eternal, but after I installed the open source driver for Vulkan and the modified Proton, I was able to play Eternal.
So this is a good start, but obviously having the Vulkan driver and the Proton package are essential as well.
